DSN: Local configuration error
Luciano Fabian
Working on a little LAN (just few machines) I setted up DNS for the local
domain and sendmail 8.11.6 (RedHat). DNS server and sendmail are installed
on the same machine. The MX record of the zone netw.lo works well and points
to the mailserver (enigma.netw.lo) but, even if I configured correctly
/etc/mail/local-host-names the mail I sent to the domain ex: us...@netw.lo
gives me this kind of error (in the maillog):
Dec 29 16:55:56 enigma sendmail[2401]: fBTFtu902399: SYSERR(root): MX list
for netw.lo. points back to enigma.netw.lo
Dec 29 16:55:56 enigma sendmail[2401]: fBTFtu902399: to=<fab...@netw.lo>,

The only way to solve this problem was to put at the end of the .mc file
this line:
Cwnetw.lo dnl
I don't find exaustive documentation about this Cw ... Can anybody help me
to understand the difference beetwen CW files (that don't works) and this
entry?
Here the mc file that I used finally that works correctly:
divert(-1)
include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`lf setup for linux systems')dnl
OSTYPE(`linux')
define(`confDEF_USER_ID',``8:12'')dnl
undefine(`UUCP_RELAY')dnl

local-host-names file should do the same as Cwdom.ain in sendmail.mc
Did your local-host-names end with a newline-character?
Sometimes configfiles doesn't work properly if the last line does not end
with a \n.
